Mark Erelli - Evening's Curtain
CAPO: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
It's Dwritten of in Gpapers, books and Dmagazines
For centuries adGventurers set Dsail
In schooners, clippers, Gsloops and brigs and Dbarque tines
AO'er the deep blue Gocean to preDvail
[Verse 2]
Believing their doGminion o'er the Dgreat salt sea
They'd snare the fish and Gsmite the mighty Dwhale
But for every man who Glived to boast his Dvictory
A Ascore or more were Gthwarted by the Dgale
[Chorus]
As Cevenings curtain Gfalls upon me Dlike a shroud
I'm Cthinking of their Gcold eternal Dsleep
BeCneath the waves Gfar too many Dsouls to count
ALost out in the Gdarkness on the Ddeep
[Verse 3]
There always will be Gmen who sail the Docean blue
But the romance is a Gthing of histoDry
In these hard times a Gman just does what Dhe has to
ProAviding for his Gwife and famiDly
[Verse 4]
Not long ago just Goff the coast of DProvincetown
They found a radio beacon Gbobbing in a field of debDris
Three days they did Gsearch but they Dnever found
The Acrew who worked aGboard the Candy DB
[Chorus]
As Cevenings curtain Gfalls upon me Dlike a shroud
I'm Cthinking of their Gcold eternal Dsleep
BeCneath the waves Gfar too many Dsouls to count
ALost out in the Gdarkness on the Ddeep
